Support for QCA9880 Mikrotik R11e-5HacT?

[Adrian Chadd]

hiya,

It's a new driver, not ath. ath is for 11abgn chips, not 11ac.

I'm still working on the ath10k port. :-) It's at the point where I
can use it daily and it's /mostly/ okay, however there are still
plenty of missing things in the net80211 stack for 11ac support.

I think it's good enough for basic station use, as long as you don't
want to do lots of traffic. It's just not in a very committable form
right now. I promise to commit it soon though and do further work in
freebsd-head.
